"Everyone was friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The facility was clean, but do know they were making some repairs. Kitchen had what you needed. I could have used a fuller pillow, but that was no biggie. Close to a grocery store, pharmacy, Ulta (which was so helpful!), and some eateries. Close to the Metro, which was great! Not as close to downtown as I would have liked, but it wasn't too far either. Definitely a place worth checking out!"
